Nouvelle Vague
Overview
Composed entirely of literary quotations from many different sources and from several historical periods, the loose narrative concerns a drifter found by a rich woman who soon falls in love with him. A drowning accident takes place and the drifter dies, but some time later he reappears in the woman’s life looking for a job. Or could it be the man’s twin brother?

Top critics, in their words
Godard's opening salvo of the '90s sustains an elegiac note to unexpectedly potent effect.
A good title rather badly used for Jean-Luc Godard's featherweight new film.
